Colouring Tutorial: How to Colour a BlackBackground.

How do I colour a black ground? This is a question I'm often asked. So I thought I'd rise to the challenge and start experimenting with ways to create a near seamless smooth black background that can be applied to colouring books. After a lot of trial and error I came up with this way which I think will suit most good quality paper types AND be easily achievable for most colourists of any skill level.
To use my method you will need:
A budget priced black pencil... I use a Faber Castell Classic in my video as they seem to be widely available.
A Faber Castell PITT artist pen 'big brush' and a
Faber Castell Pitt artist pen B (for brush shaped tip) Both in black which are number 199 in the PITT range.
Before you commit this technique to your books PLEASE try them out on a scrap piece of paper and in a back page of your colouring book to make sure they will work on the paper you are using.

Faber castell Pitt Artists pens are available online from multiple retailers. Please look for open stock where you can buy individual pens if you don't want to commit to a set of colours. In Australia you can buy PITT Pens B from OfficeWorks and many craft stores stock PITT Pens 'big brush'.
